Why they’re tweeting up a storm in downtown Seattle

Today is day one of the Seattle Interactive Conference, an event that’s bringing together technologists from various industries to talk trends, exchange ideas and, occasionally, fire off a good geeky joke.

How many Seattleites does it take to put out a fire? 4 firetrucks and 400 geeks to tweet about it. 😉#sic2012

Leaders from top Seattle companies like Valve, Cheezburger, PopCap Games and Decide.com will also make an appearance, as well as reps from the usual blockbusters — Amazon.com, Facebook, Twitter, Google, Microsoft and more.

I expect some techie fun will be had by all, as long as those devices are powered up.
